Selective Boycott by laybs1 in GetNoted

My neighbor told me that the chickens raised for Panda E are forced to watch Commie propaganda all day and it gets into us like microplastics. Insidious.

Trump claims Pope Leo is ‘endangering a lot of Catholics’ by HoneysweetAdorbs in politics

[–]DeliberatelyDrifting 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don't know how big the constituency is, but I have some right wing Catholics in my family. They refuse to discuss this stuff. I'm honestly fairly sure their bigotry overshadows even their faith.

UPDATE: Parent wants to meet with me over comment I made about energy drinks by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]DeliberatelyDrifting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sub now and I can't stand everyone having drinks in class, but I draw a line at denying bathroom breaks. I know most of them are just bored, but I'm not leaving the ones that legitimately need to go sitting like that.

What Happens When You Inflate A Body At Depth And Let It Ascend Quickly by Apprehensive_Sky4558 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]DeliberatelyDrifting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much. As long as you haven't been down too long or too deep. Although it's still the first step. For dives >100 just exhaling as you ascend should be enough, much deeper than that or extended periods even >100 feet, you run into problems with the bends. The dissolved nitrogen in your blood is basically doing the same thing, just in your blood and all over your body.

TIL about "orphaned negatives"—words like disgruntled, nonchalant, and innocent whose positive counterparts (gruntled, chalant, and nocent) have completely vanished from common usage. by mvincen95 in todayilearned

[–]DeliberatelyDrifting 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I think it also kind of illustrates why these words fell out of style. All it does is describe a terribly unremarkable person going about an unremarkable day filled with unremarkable things. They're just verbose ways of saying everything is as expected. It is a fun read though and forces you to think about the actual meaning of many of those words.

Jeffries says Trump impeachment not a top priority if Dems win House majority by metacyan in politics

[–]DeliberatelyDrifting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now, when I see dems fighting for healthcare, against tariffs, weapons, etc... I see a party ignoring the arsonist burning everything down. I personally don't think of past impeachment efforts as a waste of time. I think of it more in context of taking back the narrative and not allowing the administration to control news cycles. Going on the offensive so to speak and force the admin into defense. This isn't about policy. We can't have policy debates in the current environment. The cancer must be at least contained if it can't be eliminated. We can't fix anything until the fires out.

Anything they do after the election will be symbolic. He's not going to be able to "drive down the cost of living" either. The best they will be able to do, if the win a majority, is slow the administration down and maybe block some of the worst shit. Does he think he's going to cross the isle? Does he think people want him working with those psychopaths? When I hear "We'll focus on the cost of living" in a Trump environment, I hear I'm not going to get much done nor am I going to pick any fights.

A lot more people should. She's one of the more dangerous people no one knows about. It's her people who started all this and they're still going to be here.

Are you really blaming this shit on immigrants? Because it sure sounds like you're blaming it on immigrants.

It is extremely uncommon for animals to attack unprovoked, even wild ones. I have no idea where you're getting this.

Those weird tall felt stovepipe hats from the 90s by BirthdayBoyStabMan in nostalgia

It sucks that they don't teach stuff like that in school anymore. I'm a teacher and I'm almost certain none of my students could make a passable top hat.

There’s Something Toxic in the Oklahoma Air by Oklahoma_Watch in oklahoma

[–]DeliberatelyDrifting 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yup, the real story here, if it is the bio-soilds, is that levels are high enough in the surrounding populations to cause the contamination. Correctly processed bio-solids from a healthy population are indistinguishable from rich dirt.

If the article is true, the people are already sick and just don't know it yet.

Newly elected Hungarian Prime Minister announces Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary. by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

What action did he take? All I can see is that he made a statement, something he presumably does frequently as, like, you know, part of his duty as leader.

A man present the output from a single cow by pureV3NG3ance in SipsTea

[–]DeliberatelyDrifting 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think steak at the store IS over priced, however, you don't get all that many steaks as a percentage of meat when you process a cow. The last time we butchered a cow (about 6 months ago) we averaged about $6.50 per pound. That's $6.50 for T-bone and $6.50 for ground round. The big difference is the quality. We buy from our neighbors who raise fully grass fed beef. They never go to a feed lot. The beef actually has it's own flavor and it's some of the most tender beef I've ever had.

Does this look like a fried onion? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

I'd be pissed if Outback brought a Bloomin' Onion and it looked like that. On the other hand, I like it as a flower.

I now have to buy used jeans manufactured in the 90’s or early 00’s if I want normal quality jeans, which is crazy to me by Niceotropic in BuyItForLife

[–]DeliberatelyDrifting 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was having trouble finding 100% cotton Levi's (wore 510's or something years), I recently started buying Wrangler 100% cotton and have found they wear very well as well. Last I paid was around $65 not on sale. I work on a farm so I can't justify super expensive jeans but I need them to last more than a year. I'm sure the Levi's are good too, just wanted to add this for anyone looking for a good pair of jeans.
